Hotel Alto Palomo  

Perched in the mountains outside Sarchí in Alajuela, Hotel Alto Palomo is a tranquil mountain hideaway near Poás Volcano National Park and Juan Castro Blanco National Park. It’s roughly 40 km from Juan Santamaría Intl. Airport and minutes from local draws like Monte Tavor Park, the Butterfly Farm and Catarata del Toro.

A small, peaceful hotel with a mountain-paradise vibe and easy access to natural trails. Rooms offer private balconies or terraces, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffee makers and hairdryers — some rooms feature bathtubs — all designed for simple comfort after a day outdoors.

Wake up to misty mountain mornings and stretch out on the terrace or wander the garden and nearby trails. Enjoy complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking, 24-hour reception, concierge services, a gift shop and wedding services. Pets are allowed, making this a pet-friendly base for exploring the region.

Facilities include 1,615 sq ft (150 m²) of event space with a meeting room, plus express check-out and complimentary newspapers. Laundry and dry cleaning services are available and free parking makes logistics easy.

On-site restaurant and bar serve local cuisine and light bites, with a coffee shop/café for snacks. A complimentary continental breakfast is included and limited room service is offered for late arrivals or early starts.
